CJ Morgante Day Three Aboard The Stanley Thomas

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Y’all may not believe this but CJ refereed the New England Revolution/DC United match last night at Foxboro, got done reviewed the game tape and then hopped in his car at 2:00AM to get to Gloucester to go fishing on his Fourth Boat this morning at 5:00AM.

He went out lobstering with Tony Gross this morning at 5:00AM aboard The Sandollar. We’ll have a report on how he is holding up when he gets in tonight. So far he has been an iron man.

Tony took four boxes of bait this morning, showing no mercy at all for CJ’s schedule. As long as Tony has unloaded here I don’t think he has ever taken four boxes of bait (the previous most amount of bait being three boxes).

Early Morning.

Off to tend the gear goes Mark, Matt and CJ.  I’m looking forward to watching the New England Revolution/DC United game that CJ will be officiating Wednesday night.  From what I understand there will be serious playoff implications on the line.

Peter Mondello Making A New Setting Table

Here’s Pete Mondello and Billy working on a new setting table for the Allison Carol.

When Pete hauls his ten pot trawls he will stack the pots along that setting table after they have been re-baited and then he will set the traps off the back of this “setting table”

Lobster Trap Setting Video

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Here is a video from a lobsterman up in Maine showing how lobster pots get set. For the most part the smaller harbor lobstermen that fish out of skiffs might fish 2 pot trawls like the guy in this video. Most full time lobstermen that fish the outside of the breakwater will fish ten or twenty pot trawls though.
